Abstract

For an inclusion of the form \Bbb C⊆ Mn(\Bbb C), where Mn(\Bbb C) is endowed with a state with diagonal weights λ=(λ1, ..., λn), we use Popa's construction, for non-tracial states, to obtain an irreducible inclusion of II1 factors, Nλ(Q)⊆ Mλ(Q) of index ∑ (1)/(λi). Mλ(Q) is identified with a subfactor inside the centralizer algebra of the canonical free product state on Q⋆ MN(\Bbb C). Its structure is described by ``infinite'' semicircular elements as in \citeRa3. The irreducible subfactor inclusions obtained by this method are similar to the first irreducible subfactor inclusions, of index in [4,∞) constructed in \cite Po1, starting with the Jones' subfactors inclusion Rs⊆ R, s>4. In the present paper, since the inclusion we start with has a simpler structure, it is easier to control the algebra structure of the subfactor inclusions.
